Acorn wants to feature your haunted house

Halloween is fast approaching, and the Thousand Oaks Acorn is looking for creative families in the community who may already be hard at work planning or building this year's holiday display.

If you're one of those people who stays up late to create special Halloween fun for trickortreaters, please let us know.

If you're planning to turn your home or yard into a true Halloween treat with lots of fun outdoor visuals, alarming sights or colorful decor, clue us in with an e-mail to tonewstip@theacorn.com.

We'd love to hear from you, and we'll tell our readers know the whole scary story.

Plan on a photo of your home being taken. The deadline to submit this inormation is Wed., Oct. 17.
